Moon Rise Behind the Clouds  by taffy

Moon Rise Behind the Clouds

The rising full moon looked huge last night from street level, but by the time I was home and had my camera, it was hidden behind the clouds, and didn't come out again until quite high in the sky.
Fabulous, Tafdy!

Just think how many more opportunities you will have for the rest of your time in Chicago. This is a wonderful view!

Phantastic. That view is so extraordinary beautiful.

Fabulous nightscape! Love the eerie atmosphere created by the moon behind the clouds.
November 4th, 2017  
Beautiful night shot and I love that hint of a moon in the sky.
November 4th, 2017  
Cool effect behind those clouds, though! What a beautiful view!
November 4th, 2017  
Amazing view - almost comic book futuristic
November 4th, 2017  
A wonderful capture of the city lights. Fav!! 😀
November 4th, 2017  
A wonderful city scape at night -- so many lights and the moon peeping from behind the clouds - just as if it is behind venetian blinds !! FAV
November 4th, 2017  
I love the golden light of the city. Such a fabulous view which I always find breathtaking!! Fav of course!!
November 4th, 2017  
Wow.
November 4th, 2017  
Wow! Love those city lights!

Your cityscapes really are the business - hope you catch the moon in the next few days:)
November 4th, 2017  
Truly love the juxtaposition of the 'natural' against the man made. Fav!

You'll never lack for a foreground! How gorgeous! I, too raced out to capture the rising moon...and it looked just like this, too! My only alternative choice was the harbour view of Lunenburg...far less dramatic than this!
November 4th, 2017  
You just need a witch on a broomstick passing in front of the moon! What a fab shot!
November 4th, 2017  
awesome, love it
November 4th, 2017  
Beautiful scene
November 4th, 2017  
I noticed the moon yesterday- this is spectacular!
November 4th, 2017  
This is such an incredible view! It’s certainly something to look forward to. The clouds over the moon give this a very dramatic turn. Fav!
November 4th, 2017  
Incredible picture.
November 4th, 2017  
Wow! What a sight! Wonderful.
November 4th, 2017  
Lovely shot. A lot of people are home or working late.
November 4th, 2017  
Wow beautifully lite up! Last night it was too cloudy over here in Canada for a clear shot!
November 4th, 2017  
Still a stunning image even with the moon behind the clouds :) fav

Absolutely stunning capture...love the composition with the different heights of the buildings
November 4th, 2017  
Such an amazing view of the city and I like the ripple effect in the clouds.
November 4th, 2017  
What a great view of the city you have. I can see lots more scenes like this ahead.
November 4th, 2017  
Wonderful view and night shot
November 4th, 2017  
I had the same kind of experience last night with the moon! As we left the pub where we had Friday night drinks with friends, the moon looked huge and so beautiful as we drove home. We were only blocks away, but by the time I got home to my camera, the sky looked just like this. Like everyone says, 'take your camera everywhere'! I love this photo because of the beautiful cityscape and the very impressive number of windows all lit up. FAV
November 4th, 2017  
That is some amazing view that you have there. I bet you will never ever tire if looking and photographing that. It is a stunning shot
November 5th, 2017  
Amazing sight, I'm (almost) lost for words.
November 5th, 2017  
nice night sityscape
November 5th, 2017  
I love the magical feeling of the hidden moon over the marvelous night cityscape. The focus on some of the buildings is a bit soft to my eyes
November 5th, 2017  
Gorgeous city scape with the hidden moon.
November 5th, 2017  
That partly obscured moon adds to the spectacular image of that city. Fav
November 5th, 2017  
It's a glowing city with an eerie moon -- so atmospheric!
November 5th, 2017  
You make the city look stunning! Fav.
November 5th, 2017  
Wow -who needs the moon - this is fabulous. (And there is a hint of the moon)
November 5th, 2017  
It was playing hide and seek with you! Does your city stay that bright all night or do the lights go out later on? Just wondering if you needed blackout blinds to sleep........
November 5th, 2017  
Love that the moon is partially obscured by clouds, and the city backdrop is, as always - spectacular!
November 5th, 2017  
Moon or no Moon,,, this view is simply spectacular.
November 5th, 2017  
Fav!
November 5th, 2017  
Gorgeous shot- I like how the clouds sort of make the moon look like it's shimmering like the lights in the buildings below.
November 5th, 2017  
great shot, stunning view
November 6th, 2017  
Another amazing shot. Love the cloud textures!
November 6th, 2017  
Stunning night shot

Will you ever get tired of this view .... I believe NEVER EVER .....fabulous
November 6th, 2017  
It is lovely Taffy.
November 6th, 2017  
Spectacular! and a fav!
November 6th, 2017  
I'll never get tired of your view!
November 7th, 2017  
Wow...another great shot of the skyline.
November 7th, 2017  
What an incredible scene. I think a view like this would make me recognise just how tiny I am in the world. Looks great in the filtered moonlight. Not many lights off in the offices at this time of the evening - or are these mostly condos like yours?
November 7th, 2017  
Wish we had had the time for some night shots in Chicago
November 9th, 2017  
This is a breathtaking view! Especially with the moon trying to peek out through those tightly knitted clouds! This would make a mind numbing jigsaw puzzle! Have to look at this on black it a;most becomes 3 dimensional! FAV!
November 11th, 2017  
A stunning skyline... I kind of like the mysterious effect of the moon being behind the clouds...
November 13th, 2017  
Fantastic shot. Congrats on TT
November 13th, 2017  
I thought this would do well, but kept that thought to myself so as not put the whammy on you. Congratulations. Very deserving!
November 14th, 2017  
@shepherdmanswife @skipt07 Thanks for letting me know, Chantel and Skip! It was exciting to see this up there on the TT list. I'd liked the image so it felt good that others did as well.
November 14th, 2017  
Congratulations on Top Twenty for this fabulous photo! Definitely well deserved!
November 14th, 2017
